Song Menghua: At the beginning, ask to marry Sheng Minglan

"Okay, of course."

"Last night, the Duke and the prince enjoyed drinking and chatting until the middle of the night, and then they simply fell asleep."

"Young master, don't worry."

Qi Heng was not surprised that this person's attitude was almost flattering.

For them, the servants of the palace.

Most of his little father-in-law is already the son-in-law of the palace, and they should be respectful and flattering.

He casually looked at the plaque of the palace.

"now what?"

The steward made a gesture of please.

"The Duke is in the mansion, please come in and have a talk."

Qi Heng nodded casually, since he's here, he naturally doesn't have any worries.

Walk into the palace.

Under the leadership of the steward, he walked through the long corridor for a long time, and finally led him to a living room in the backyard.

at the same time.

There was also a servant girl who served tea and then slowly retreated.

The steward smiled and said, "Young Lord, I will wait a while."

"The villain will report back."

soon.

He was the only one left in this huge living room.

And judging from the current situation, in the next period of time, he will only be alone.

This made Qi Heng laugh dumbfounded.

Unexpectedly, there are still people in this palace who understand psychological tactics.

They were trying to hang him out, to upset him that way, to make him gradually panic.

"interesting."

Qi Heng simply picked up his teacup and calmed down.

……

In another wing of the palace.

A young woman in her thirties and a girl in her sixteenth year sat opposite each other.

The woman also held the teacup, she took a breath of hot air and smiled slowly: "Sure enough."

"Even if he knows, we won't do anything to his father."

"But since we have expressed our attitude, he must come."

"Come on, this matter will be settled."

The girl's face was reddish.

She has a pretty face, not absolutely beautiful, but not ugly either. Apart from anticipation, there is apprehension in her eyes.

She hesitated, "But mother."

"This kind of thing is difficult for others...it's not good at all."

"After all, the young master has some reputation now."

"Fame?"

"Oh, what fame is not fame?"

The woman is naturally the concubine of this palace, the corners of her lips are raised, quite disdainful.

"Tell me slowly that his powerful family is a vassal of my Zhao family."

"Even the prime minister is polite to your father."

"What kind of reputation can a Duke of Qi's mansion have?"

"Why, don't you want to have a good relationship with this little father-in-law?"

The girl bowed her head, but her face became more and more red.

Of course she wanted to.

A year ago, she took a look at this little Duke Qi from a distance, and she was moved and begged the princess to propose marriage. Now that he has such talent, she naturally wants him even more.

"Daughter just thinks..."

"Since the princess has said it, there is no need to be in a hurry when he waits for the scientific examination."

The princess shook her head and laughed.

"My silly daughter."

"Wait any longer...it's really uncertain."

"My mother heard about it. Ever since he became famous overnight in Fanlou, the government and the British government have come to propose marriage."

"Who wouldn't be envious of such a young man among the rich and powerful?"

"not to mention."

"Wait until he competes with that Meizhou student, Jin Mingchi... the whole city of Bianjing will break through the threshold of his house."

"So it doesn't matter whether Princess Pingning is perfunctory or not."

"We can't wait any longer."

The girl was silent.

She also knows very well that apart from her family background and the title of Jiacheng County Lord, she can't compete with so many people.

So her mother's method can only be the only way out of desperation.

She hesitated and asked, "Father..."

"If father knows, will he be unhappy?"

Mention King Yong.

Considering that this matter was her own decision after all, the princess did not dare to assert.

She pondered slightly, narrowing her eyes.

"will not."

"Your father shouldn't be ignorant."

"This young man has this talent, and he can also single-handedly create the hot Nineteen Company. Regardless of his future or ability, it is rare in a hundred years."

"If you marry him, my family will be more likely to enter the East Palace!"

Talk and go.

Her daughter's intentions are of course on the one hand.

But this is the root cause of her desperation.

A nineteenth firm, seventeen dignitaries, even if the affairs of the East Palace can only be relied on by the court minister, but it is not a bad thing to have more of these dignitaries.

Say.

This young man's reputation in the literary world is another big help.

So in the final analysis, she is determined to win this little Duke Qi.

……

While the concubine and the head of Jiacheng County were waiting patiently, at Caiwei Xiaozhu, Gu Tingye also waited for everyone he was waiting for.

of course.

Everyone here does not refer to the owner of the Nineteen Company, but everyone who will come and should come.

In addition to Chi Yanei, [-] children of the rich and powerful, [-] people came.

Gu Tingye was already very satisfied.

He also knew that the family of the three who didn't come had close contacts with Prince Yong's Mansion, and they would get wind of such things.

He looked around at the 12 people in front of him with awe-inspiring eyes, his voice was deep but powerful.

"I won't say much about Yuan Ruo."

"I just ask you, what to do!"

No one spoke.

Very normal.

King Yong Zhao Zongshi was always a potential successor, so he naturally had a great deterrent effect on these powerful children.

Ling Xiaoqi was even more afraid to meet Gu Tingye's gaze, he was apprehensive and quietly lowered his head.

in silence.

Gu Tingye was not in a hurry, he just looked at them and waited for them.

moment.

This extremely depressing atmosphere finally made a person unable to bear to speak.

Qiao Qilang, Pingnan Bo's family, tentatively asked: "Otherwise..."

"Shall we go back and beg our own elders?"

"To intercede jointly and say something nice, even King Yong, shouldn't give this face away."

Gu Tingye actually didn't want to hear such words.

But he still listened patiently.
